Question: Why has the recipe for the Chicken Nuggets and fries changed? They use to be real chicken and tasty potatoes.?

Now they look like chicken parts that have been put into a blender and molded into chicken nuggets. Wendy's use to have the BEST tasting chicken nuggets compared to McDonald's and Burger King. Now the Wendy's chicken nuggets are the WORST! I have decided to go back to McDonald's. Also Wendy's use to have the best french fries. The Sea Salt is a great idea but the type of potato and cut has changed the original flavor dramatically. They are AWFUL tasting! I know that these changes have affected WENDY'S BOTTOM LINE and the share holders are happy. But as of this moment Wendy's HAS LOST A REGULAR CUSTOMER. Please go back to the original recipe that advertised real chicken and great french fries. I was around when Dave started the Wendy's fast food resturants and I liked his approach to winning customers -Great food at a great price. Please return to Dave's business model.
I do know that nothing will change but at least I have voiced my opinion. This is a sign of the times. -(whatever!)
Thanks

cheaper

Wendy's has sold chicken tenders before that were real chicken, but the nuggets have always been chopped pressed chicken, although I do agree that the recipe has changed and they are not like they used to be. I actually thought the old Wendy's fries were disgusting and I never bought fries there. I like the new fries.
These fast food restaurants are all about the bottom line, they do not give two hoots about individual customers. If these new fries and nuggets were not selling, they would change the recipe.

fast food chicken has never been real full pieces of chicken, they just dont try to hide it anymore

It's cheaper.
